File: workspaces-core/latest/ag/using-service-linked-roles.md

Added ec2:DescribeTags and ec2:CreateTags permissions to service-linked role policy.

Security assessment

Adds resource tagging permissions for operational management. No evidence of addressing a security vulnerability. Tags support resource organization but don't inherently change security posture.
